The Office of Admission is eager to engage with you virtually!
Please note that Occidental is currently closed to visitors, with no organized campus tours being offered. This difficult decision was made out of an abundance of caution due to the novel coronavirus.
You can start getting a feel for the College, virtually, by taking a look around campus and joining us for an online Information Session. We hope that you will explore all of the resources available to you on this page!
Information Session
This live session will be conducted by an admission officer who is joined by two current students for Q&A. There is also a pre-recorded Information Session that you can watch anytime. Prospective students, along with school and CBO counselors are encouraged to attend!
Student Session
Prospective students can join these informal chats to ask our current students questions about their academic and co-curricular experiences. Have your questions answered live! Plan to register for a student session after attending an information session.
